The rule that runs server_health safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Hexstrike Ai, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For server_health, this is the rule to start with:
server_health is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
